Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

No-Bake Key Lime Cheesecake

A few weeks ago, I helped my daughter-in-law throw a bridal shower for one of her best friends. The bride is a big fan of key lime pie so we made an easy key lime cheesecake to serve. And since all the food at the event was finger-food we decided to cut the cheesecake into bite-sized pieces to serve. This is a yummy and easy dessert any way you slice it...haha!

No-Bake Key Lime Cheesecake



2 cups graham crackers crumbs
1/2 cup butter ~ melted
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup key lime juice
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 8-ounce package cream cheese ~ room temp
1 8-ounce container Cool Whip ~ thawed

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar. Press into a 9-inch springform pan. Chill.

In a mixing bowl, mix the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until smooth then slowly add the key lime juice. Mix well.

Fold in the Cool Whip until well combined.

Pour filling onto the chilled crust and allow to chill for several hours or overnight.

Serve with whipped cream.
